| About me: | Waht do you want to know? I am a recovering television addict. I would spend at least 12 hours a day watching shows and really BAD movies. Now I read alot! I try to get through about 1500 pages ( in books) a week. Which equals about 3-4 books. If you see me on the bus lines or trains, it's easy to pick me out - I'm the one with my nose in a book. |
| Reading Interests: | That's like asking a person " what air looks like! Everything or anything that catches my interest. Ficton, Non-fiction, mysteries, love stories ( not bodice rippers). If a book's cover catches my eye, and the blurb catches my interest, I'll go to the library and see if it's aviable. Plus different people will recommend different things. Some are hits, and some I don't speak to those people. I will make the confession - I have not read any of the books I should have read in high school. Television had a hold on me at a young age. So in the next year, I will start on the list. With a few omissions.No 1000 page or more books. War & Peace, Les Mis,Uylese ( The james Joyce book). There will be a list up of the books very shortly. Still waiting for my old english teacher to get back with me. |

 The sweetness at the bottom of the pie by Bradley, C. Alan, 1938- If you do not read another mystery this year, you will want to read this one. The young miss slueth has all the wit and charm of Stephine Plum, the smarts of Sherlock holmes, and tenacisty of a bull dog on a bone. posted Nov 4, 2009 at 12:08PM

 City of thieves : a novel by Benioff, David. Set at siege of Saint Peter ( or Liengrand if you perfer)two young men are sent out for an impossible task. Get a dozen eggs for a high ranking officer's child's weeding cake. It is a wonderful read for the adventures, and people they meet on the journey. posted Oct 25, 2009 at 4:44PM

 Sandman Slim by Kadrey, Richard. What's the first thing you want to do, after spending 11 years in hell. Fighting in a arenea for high and low level fallen angels. That's right, you want some revenge on those who sent you there! So begins a very wonderfully constructed story that will hold your interest, and sometimes makes you makes you wonder~! posted Oct 17, 2009 at 3:42PM

 Different seasons by King, Stephen, 1947- I will be the first person to tell you in all honesty. I DO NOT LIKE STEPHEN KING's works of horror or the super natural ( It, The Stand,) it is complete and utterly boring to read. But the first story in theis book made change my tune. "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption" made me a fan of his works. posted Oct 3, 2009 at 4:55PM

 The art of racing in the rain : a novel by Stein, Garth. "Outside of a dog,a book is man's best friend> Inside is too dark to read" G. Marxs. This is never so true as the story Enzo & his owner. A truly heart-felt story of lost,love and coming to terms with your own humanity ( 2 & 4 legged). posted Sep 26, 2009 at 3:45PM

 Tell me where it hurts : a day of humor, healing, and hope in my life as an animby Trout, Nick. Okay I'll admit I am a sucker for a good animal story. Dogs, horses, rats and every once in a while cats! posted Sep 11, 2009 at 1:29PM

 A beautiful blue death by Finch, Charles A combination of Sherlock Holmes, Jeeves and Nick & Nora Charles all rolled into a very tight mystery! From the start I thought I knew who did the deed. Sadly I was prover wrong - but the journey was well worth the time that I had in this story! posted Sep 11, 2009 at 1:25PM

 One for the money by Evanovich, Janet. Stephine Plum is a little slice of what is good in this world. If you think you are having a bad day - It's nothing compared to her normal work day! The qoute I like the most to describe her is " If Lucy Ricardo & Elliot Ness had a child, it would be Stephine Plum! posted Sep 11, 2009 at 1:24PM

 The hours by Cunningham, Michael, 1952- A story worthy of Mrs. Dalloway, and it even has Virgina Woolfe as one of the three main characters. The other try to live thier lives through Mrs. Dalloway. posted Sep 11, 2009 at 1:17PM
